An appeal for Matzoth before Passover: “This is a year of hunger in Russia. There is no flour available to bake Matzah for over two million Jews in Russia. This is the first time in history that an entire nation has no Matzah for Passover… Can we sit complacently with folded hands? Every Jew must contribute towards Ma’oth Chitim for Russian Jews.” Endorsed by the great Rabbis of Russia, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia including: The Chofetz Chaim, R. Chaim Ozer Grodzinsky, R. Joseph Isaac Schneerson of Lubavitch, R. Yechezkel Lipschitz (head of the Agudath HaRabanim of Poland), R. Abraham DovBer Kahana Shapiro (head of the Agudath HaRabanim of Lithuania), R. Menachem Mendel Zak (head of the Agudath HaRabanim of Latvia).
